Estéfano

In 2005, by which time he had been awarded BMI's Latin Songwriter of the Year honor (7) seven times and scored 39 Top 40, 22 Top Ten, and seven number one hits, Estéfano made his solo debut with Código Personal: A Media Vida, a collection of especially personal songs that he'd written for himself to sing. However, this album was not as successful as his previous work for other artists.

Estéfano left his home in Manizales, Colombia for the United States in 1989, arriving as an aspiring songwriter. He signed his first publishing deal in 1992 with Foreign Imported Productions, a Miami-based company owned by Emilio Estefan Jr. His songwriting debut came later that year on Jon Secada's Otro Día Más Sin Verte, namely the number one hits "Cree en Nuestro Amor" and "Sentir." A year later he penned songs for Estefan's wife, Gloria, writing the bulk of her Grammy Award winner Mi Tierra, including a pair of number one singles on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart: the title track and "Mi Buen Amor"
